Would you buy a used MacBook Air M1?
ofc
i would definitely get a used air m1 bcs the model is 2 years old already n it costs around $750 but my dad strictly forbid me from buying used gadgets online n allows me tobuy a brand new one "using my own money" instead lol
I would like to buy it from you
Can I see the photo??
Bought it used this February, base model. Face to face with seller, he had covers on the case monitor (glass protection for some reason), even charger. Removing the glass cover was stressful when it started breaking, but in the end I was left with laptop in nearly mint condition. It had 1 small scuff on the edge near trackpad and that was it. What worried me was battery health at 94%, but in real life the battery lasts so long I don't have to worry about it. Bought a dongle and external SSD. I use it to edit my 4k videos, do live stream, for remote work and gaming when I have time (Hades runs perfectly). I only miss magsafe, but other than than I couldn't be happier.
Sounds like you got a good one!
how much did you paid?
@@boogiedownbronx73 about EUR 800, still going just fine :)
How did you check the battery health ?
@@sl4ught343You have battery health option in the settings
i got a chance to buy a semi new for 711 EUR...battery is 86% but I could change that always...
Found an M1 MacBook 256gb with apple warranty. 20 cycle 100% battery health for $650
That is good!
I got an M1 for $400 less than a new M2.
Where at
Where??????
@@gamingalpha2318 It was on the Apple website, certified refurbished.
Got an m1 and that slow SSD on the m2 is a no go !!!
I’ll wait for the m3 facelift
Apparently you can’t tell the difference unless you’re copying data a lot.
I mean really, what are you using it for because it really depends on each person like for students the “slow” ssd is enough lol
No. It‘s design is old now, 2018.
I‘ll buy the M2 Air instead, I don‘t really care about the slower SSD on the base model.
Keep mind M2 is £1250 and a used M1 could be £600: that’s a big difference for someone on a budget. But yeah it would make sense to go for the M2.
@@ZaffsProductions I could buy a M2 for 1250€ now with UNiDAYS
@@sam_ed Don't buy m2. If you have little more budget go for M1 pro 14inch(base model) from swappa. I saw a brand new base(unopened) sold for $1600(its actual price is $2000).
But the one I got is $400 less than the M2.
@@sam_ed nah bro m1 doesnt look old too bruv
Thank you for the video like your style
I just bought a 1 year used MacBook air m1 16 gb 256gb ssd .. minor scratches, battery health 96% 144 cycles
For 39k egp based on black market currency exchange rate ATM about 740.04 USD
I bought it for studying and 3d/digital art training
What is your advice?
Any videos to watch to check it again, i bought it via Facebook marketplace, i travelled and met the guy at his home 😅
The MBA M1 sounds good! Should last you a few years definitely.
thank you for this video!!
I will check SSD TBW via smartmontools, especially for base 8GB model and 256GB SSD. For example my 1yr old MBA M1, 16GB RAM is at 5TBW.. daily 8+hrs in use. My wife have 6 months old base 8GB version with very light use (few hrs per week) with 4TBW so there is visible some swap usage. My gaming PC is about 8TBW/yr. So anything less than 10TBW/year of age will be good for me. I bought MacMini M1 16/512, just 3 month old with mostly 20TBW, so previous owner was doing more SSD writes per month than I do per year :) So I will avoid to buy M1 used MBA M1 base model with more than ~100TBW
The M2 512GB model doesn’t actually suffer from the slower speed. Don’t know why they didn’t do that for the base model.
Just bought one used, how to know the tbw?
M1 for unity game dev?
I’m still using my 2012 MacBook Pro 15 for web development. 11 year old laptop.
Whats your opinion about macbook air m1 for video editing ?
Very good!
What should be the battery health and cycle count while considering a used MacBook M1? Like which ones would you avoid? I’ll be using it for like 3-4 years and then upgrade
Depends really, I wouldn’t get anything over 200 cycles.
@@ZaffsProductions Bro.. I got a really good deal and the cycle count was 70 with 98% battery health! Thanks for replying and helping me out.. really appreciate it!
@@curtdsouza8282 That sounds good!
@@ZaffsProductions hi zaff is 119 acceptable?
@@siamsimte168 It depends how much!
M1 macbook pro is the best.
no macbook air is better~!
Does Fortnite work well on a used macbook air?
Is it worth buying a 16gb ram 512ssd MacBook Air m1 with 130 battery cycles for $800? Or buying an 8gb ram 256ssd with 24 battery cycles for around $700?
Depends how long you are keeping it for? If 3 years, get the second choice, if less, get the first.
What do you think
8/256 64 cycle count
For 470$ but without the box
Sounds like a good deal. You should get 2-3 years out of that.
Ih have a good deal MacBook air m1 512 gb 750 Batterie 96 ?
Sounds good!
Where can I get a used m1 macbook pro?
Apple store or eBay if you want cheaper.
No.
